Has it been nearly a year since you’ve been on a \u201creal\u201d date with your significant other? Planning a romantic<\/a> rendezvous in the middle of a global pandemic isn’t easy, especially if you have kids who are distance learning<\/a> while you’re working from home<\/a>. If you’re like most of us, you barely have enough energy to brush your teeth and change for bed<\/a> in the evenings, let alone organize a creative date night with your main squeeze.<\/p>\n

3. At-Home Spa Day<\/h2>\n

Have you been fantasizing about a luxurious couples treatment at your favorite spa? With COVID-19 cases on the rise, you might not want to indulge in person anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean you can’t unwind and treat yourself<\/a> with a spa day at home<\/a>! Bring the decadence of a real spa to your humble abode with\u00a0Burke Williams’<\/a> spa kits like the Taste of Burke Williams.\u00a0Or sign up for an online couples’ massage class<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> to learn pro tips in the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n

4. DIY Paint ‘n Sip Night<\/h2>\n

Maybe your local paint ‘n sip<\/a> studio is temporarily closed, but setting up shop at home<\/a> is easier (and less expensive!) than you think. Order a couple of mini canvases and acrylic paint to pick up curbside from your local craft store or online. Then uncork a bottle of your favorite vino and tune into YouTube for a step-by-step tutorial from a professional painter.<\/p>\n
